the add lib coalition

one supporter of the crawl
sums it up as
infrastructure, education, arts
or
decline and fall

"arts" can't really be subsidized
you either do it or you don't
@ bringing out the best in the brightest
our schools seem to go from worse and worst
that leaves infrastructure
and wars have created an empty purse
printing funny money to build
could be another curse

bringing libertarians and liberals together
liberationists for women and children too
seems like such an obvious ad lib thing to do

post-computer post-tv

pc pre computer ptv pre tv
pre screenings of consciousness
what's it mean to just BE

post-pomo post-toasties post-posting-my-poop
time to just let everything droop
longer than drop and you don't have to stoop
longer than stop! can't close this loop

just stop doing zeros and ones
digital virtual less & less fun
catching insects on allium
with canon
power shot
digital elph
just more naming & filing
by a selfish small self

why was the fox so dead in the road
fullstop to ask questions slows overload
slow politics offline may never catch on
but neither does whining into beyond

buried a young fox

found young fox dead in the road this day dawning
stopped the car & put on the blinker warning
wet from rain red blood bled from the head
same fox watched from our window many a morning

picked it up by the tail and put it in the grass
big black ears will hear no more -- alas
started to cry but told my eyes to remain dry
acceptance, yet roadkill makes me visit the past

how many mashed bodies have i pulled to the side
dug hole between pawpaw seedlings let body slide
filled in, piled stones, someone may find the bones
a dwarfish ballad hides humility behind pride

mom & apple pie

peace ecological balance children @ play
homo ludens collaboratus (r species being) the American way
this is the mom the libertarian apple pie has been missing
Old Mothernature OMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm
so simple -- "mom & apple pie" the very pie mother mary
imagined eve cooking up for her man adam full of know-how
modest nourishing reality-as-it-is-Nature feeds us every day
in every way no more no less enuf for life -- free of stufffff

for the common GOOD

July 20th, 2009

Dear Senator McCain:

During the campaign you supported a "League of Democracies"
& that was one proposal that made me look twice at your candidacy.
The world does need global policemen but we are untrustworthy.
Our "preemptive unilateral perpetual"wars have disqualified US.

We need a year round forum to shape swift and thrifty global policies
to stop terrorism/genocides/"ethnic cleansings"/uncivil wars
and in full support of the International Criminal Court. Do you
support the common GOOD (Global Organization Of Democracies)?

This is a GOOD idea whose time has come
please give it your continuing best effort.
We the people would appreciate your suggestions.
What can we do to move this country in GOOD directions?

Sincerely,

Charlie Keil
